Parents have raised concerns about the situation at the top of the school

Concerns have been raised at the sudden absence of a headteacher and deputy head from a Merseyside school that recently moved out of special measures.

But now there are concerns amongst parents at the situation at the top of the school. A letter has been sent to parents from the chief executive of the Pope Francis Catholic Multi-Academy Trust, which runs the Whiston School, explaining that headteacher Lee Peachey is taking time away from his role.MORE: Mum smashed pint glass over ex-boyfriend's head after he threw drink on puppy

He explained in Mr Peachey's absence, Clare McKenna, who is currently deputy head at St Gregory's Catholic High School in Warrington, will be joining the school. The letter states that Ms McKenna will "continue at SEACA for as long as is needed." Several parents have contacted the Liverpool ECHO to raise their concerns at the situation, which comes after more positive recent news for the school. Last week the ECHO reported on the improving situation at the struggling school, which had been in special measures since 2015 until the recent visit of Ofsted.
